TO SUMMER.

TO SUMMER.
Although we do most cheerfully allow
That hailiDg's sadly out Of season now,
Yet It's our duty-all must sure concede it
To hail a few things now that seem to
need 1t.
To start with: Hail Baseball, thou won
drous game
No institution vies with thee In fame
Hail, Pitcher, Catcher, Short-stop and the
rest,
Fit to reclIne your heads on glory's breast.
Ye are the peoples pets. Their knees are
YOU'RE greater men than cen the President
For thousands more pay cash to see you
Than visit Grover on reception day.
Hail Summer You're not here yet, bu.
you'll come;
The horse.fy tells us so with drowsy hum
But TIL you ccmc, you may quite easy be-
For spring now does your duties faithfully
Hail Lemonade, and likewise hail Ice
Cream
Hail laughing Ph~bus, but coufound thy
beam.
Hail sprluklipg Cart, that cools the dusty
air:
Hail to the Chunk Of Ice-,hat Isn't there.
But why 20 on, for summer Joys so bright
Flush through the brain In numbers lnauite.
And never could these pleasures which We
prize
BE covered by hAll.stonc OF this size.

hospitalitles OF the Government at Fort

for the happy hunting grounds of Arizona.
TIE willy diplomat is evidently feeling for a
pardon, but to turn hin loose even In a

probation. For whitewash the old sinner
as much as you will, the scent Of the war
paint will hang round him still.

The blood in health maintains uni
form temperature OF 98' in all climates
and at oil seasons OF the year. Even in
the Arctic regions, where the thermo-
meter falls to Coz below zero, the same
degree OF heat is kept up by the body.
as the heat OF the atmosphere, in most
civilized countries, only reaches that
degree for few days in the summer,
the necessity OF clothing becomes ap-
parent.
The general rule to be observed in
regard to clothing is that 1T should
contribute as far as possible to COM
fort. 1t should be frequently changed
to meet the variations Of temperature
which are so common in this latitude.
The most critical period Of the year and
that most prejudicial TO health is the
summer, when the system il relaxed
and depressed by the extreme heat aud
peculiarly liable to be attacked by dis
ease.
At this season of the year, when the
heat for days together is almost I'M
bearable, the lightest and coolest
clothing should be worn. This is par
ticularly important in the case of chill
dren. All flannel clothing, except for
infants, should be removed during the
season of extreme heat, to be replaced
in cases of delicate children when the
weather turns cooler, even if only for q
day or two at time.
1t is proper 10 state that there is q
difference Of opinion, however, among
medical men on this subject, some
maintaining that invalids and delicate
children should wear flannel during the
entire summer as well as winter.
Heat annually numbers its victims
by thousands in this climate, and its
evils should be most sedulously guarded
against. 1t is far more to be dreaded
and far more difficult to provide against
than cold.
The feet should receive particular
care. They should be kept warm and
dry, and their circulation should not be
impeded by tight boots or shoes. The
rubber overshoe, keeping the feet dry,
contributes as much to health as to
comfort. NJ. ID.
